After picking up from your Beijing’s central located hotel lobby on 18:25pm in the late afternoon, then drive to theater next , Beijing Opera is the quintessence of China. The largest Chinese opera form, it is extolled as ‘Oriental Opera’. Having a history of 160 years, it has created many ‘firsts’ in Chinese dramas: the abundance of repertoires, the number of artists, opera troupes and spectators.
